Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
Peter Boehler
Peter Boehler (1712-1775) was born in Frankfurt am Main. He met Spangenberg and other Moravians in 1731 while studying theology in Jena. Soon afterwards he met Zinzendorf. He was received into the Moravian Church in Herrnhut in 1737. He traveled to Georgia and Pennsylvania in North America and also to Upper Lusatia, Wetteravia, Holland, and England, where he died in London. He had a profound spiritual influence on John Wesley, having met him in 1738, traveled together with him to Oxford, and probably influenced Wesleys conversion experience of the 24th of May 1738.
